Abstract
A new safety support system has been developed to detect and transmit notification of a wandering elderly person s location The system employs a low transmitting power mobile phone PHS and a personal computer PC The PHS is carried with the elderly person as a pendant The PHS location is identified within 100 m from the receiving antenna ID Therefore the system can detect whether the wandering elderly person is in or out of their home When the wandering elderly person is away from home the system automatically informs the caregiver via voice mode and sends the wandering elderly person s location map by e mail
